Tech Mahindra And Rakuten Open World-Class 5G Lab In Tokyo

Tech Mahindra, a
leading provider of digital transformation, consulting and business
reengineering services and solutions, and Rakuten Mobile Network, Inc., the
mobile network subsidiary of Rakuten Group, the Japan-based global leader in
internet services, today announced the opening of the Rakuten Cloud Innovation
Laboratory, a world-class next generation (4G and 5G) software-defined network
lab located in Tokyo.

Established in line with the joint MoU (Memorandum of Understanding)
signed by Tech Mahindra and Rakuten in October 2018, the Rakuten Cloud
Innovation Laboratory is a unique, fully automated testing facility that aims
to foster innovation across Mobile Network, IT Digital Architecture, Cloud and
Enterprise Applications.

Furthermore, the lab implements and automates the entire Continuous
Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, which, coupled with
DevOps principles, enables Rakuten to quickly test, integrate and continuously
deploy new features and technologies, eliminating the need for late night
maintenance, reducing operating costs, and contributing to improving the
network experience for customers.

This lab is a joint showcase of what strategic partnerships between two
companies can do across national borders to achieve not only an innovative
technology platform but also a modern workspace where the best and brightest
minds can work and play.

Opening of this lab illustrates Tech Mahindra and Rakuten’s commitment
towards co-creating new connected experiences in the digital world.
